Development Environment Setup Guide

Welcome to the Just Press Play Development Environment Setup Guide! This document is not very long, but some of the programs needed are sizable downloads. I recommend looking through the code while they download (you could watch cat videos too).

Required Software

• Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or 2013
• SQL Server Express 2012 (Grab SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe or SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe, based on your system architecture)
• Git

Recommended Software

• SourceTree

Setup Steps

1. Install and update Windows.
2. Install and update VS 2012.

• After updating, start VS and open Tools->Extensions and Updates. On the left select "Online." Find "NuGet Package Manager" and "Web Essentials 2012" and install both.

3. Install SQL Server Express.
4. Install Git (and SourceTree).
5. Clone the repository.

That's it!
